In order that batting may be increased Ned HANLON,
manager of the Brooklyn team and a member of the rules committee, is in
favor of moving the pitcher's slab still farther from the plate, and since
it is he who makes the suggestion, as his opinion on matters of this kind
usually carried much weight, it would not be at all surprising if such a
rule should be adopted before the next baseball season opens.
Ever since baseball has been the great American game
handicaps have been placed upon the pitcher and he is still the master of
the field. To move him farther from plate would bother some pitchers so much
that they would be driven from the game, but before a year had passed the
pitcher would have mastered the situation and would give the rules committee
plenty of room to think of what it could do next to make it easier for the
batsmen.
It really seems a bit strange that a game which is so
popular as is baseball should constantly be meddled with. The present way of
playing the game suits the public, and it might prove a mistake to make a
change such as HANLON suggests.
